Simple Pendulum

If length of oscillating simple pendulum is made (13)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) times at a place keeping amplitude same then its total energy will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. E=12mω2A2=mgA22LE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2 = \frac{mgA^2}{2L}, so E∝1LE \propto \frac{1}{L} for the same AA.
  2. L→L3⇒E→3EL \to \frac{L}{3} \Rightarrow E \to 3E
  3. So the answer is (b) 3 times.
